NON Nano formulation. Caribbean Blue SPF8 is a unique 100% all-natural sunscreen formula. Instead of synthetic chemical ingredients, it contains natural zinc oxide. Formulated in a natural base of tropical oils, botanical extracts, and anti-oxidant vitamins, the result is a completely natural formula that protects, moisturizes and soothes the skin.

All-Natural SPF8 is formulated using the latest scientific research findings and information on sun protection: UVB rays are mostly involved with sunburns, while the deeper penetrating UVA rays are involved with premature aging, wrinkling and even skin cancers. Many chemical sunscreens protect only from UVB rays, and allow penetration of damaging UVA rays. Zinc oxide is the only ingredient that is FDA-recognized as having both UVB and UVA broadest-spectrum protection, as well as having therapeutic benefits.

Aqua (water), Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Zinc oxide (Zinc oxide non-nano), Emulsifying Wax NF vegetable-derived, Echinacea purpurea (Purple coneflower) Extract, Aesculus hippocastanum (Horsechestnut) Extract, Sesamum indicum, (Sesame) Seed Oil, Glycerin (Glycerin vegetable-derived), Mangifera indica (Mango) Seed Butter, Geogard* (Sodium benzoate and Gluconolactone from non-GMO corn), Xanthan gum (Xanthan gum), Lavandula officinalis (Lavender) Oil, d-alpha Tocopherol (natural Vitamin E).

Fantastic Product and even better customer service Review by Claire

Rating

I originally bought this product based on the previous reviews as I tend to get bad prickly heat while on holiday. For the first time in a years I was symptom free for the whole holiday and was able to enjoy myself without the usual annoying, painful itch. It is a lovely product to use and smells great! I will definitely be using this product for every holiday I go on from now on!

However, I have to also mention that the customer service I received from The Natural Skincare Company was outstanding. Unknown to them I was leaving on my holiday within a week, and as it turned out they felt that the sunscreen would not reach me in the allocated time that they originally started for delivery, so emailed me to say so. Every other internet based company I have ever used, have never done this and usually let the stated delivery time laps, which in this case would have been a disaster as I would not have been able to use the product on holiday. Amanda kept me updated with the status of the product continually, letting me know when the product had docked and cleared customs as it was coming from St Lucia. They even changed the post and packaging to first class free of change to ensure I got the product in time.

I never usually review products once I use them; however I have been so impressed with your service I just had to let you know! I will definitely be using your company again and thank you for all your help this time.

REPLY from Amanda: Thanks for the lovely review Claire. Hope you had a great holiday - we always try to go that extra mile! (Posted on 4/16/12)

EXCELLENT Review by Alex

Highly recommend this. I react to certain types of sun light but nothing was a effective as this for protection. I had a glorious very brown tan also!!! It made my holiday in the sun very enjoyable.

Would this be a high enough protection for Dubai in November???

REPLY from Amanda: Thank you Alex for your great review! Personally I would go for a much higher SPF for Dubai. The sun is very fierce in that part of the world and these days an SPF8 is not really high enough. However, it really does depend upon your skin type, how easily you tan etc., so it really does have to be an individual's own decision. It looks as though the SPF8 suited you on your recent holiday, so you may be able to opt for the SPF15, but if it were me, I would go for the SPF25 (fair skin, blue eyes etc.) (Posted on 10/20/11)

Love it Review by Linda

I bought this and the SPF15 sport (I'll review that seperately as I found them very different) because despite always tanning really easily in the past, the last couple of times I used sun creams I developed what appeared to be prickly heat and sweeling on my face too. This stuff was fabulous, no swelling, no prickly heat, whatever I am allergic to is clearly not in this cream and I came home with a super tan on the places I used it on legs and arms all holiday and everywhere last 2 days. Will definately be back for more for next year! I did not get the slightest but red when I used it either! Just brown, very brown! (Posted on 9/18/11)

General Information:

Many healthcare practitioners believe that a Sun Protection Factor of 15 (SPF 15) is basically all that is needed for overall protection from the sun. An SPF 15 blocks 93.3% of the sun’s UVB rays, while an SPF 30 blocks 96.7%. Therefore, the SPF 15 provides a level of maximal screening of the suns rays, and SPF values above this point give less and less added protection. However, having said this, there are times when a higher SPF factor can be useful - for instance, when it is impossible to keep certain areas of the body away from the sun's rays; such as the tip of the nose, the back of the neck and sometimes the shoulders. An SPF 25 lotion can be useful in these circumstances but we would always recommend that you keep out of the sun completely between the hours of 11.00 am and 3.00 pm. There is also a growing body of evidence to suggest that a little sunshine is good for your skin giving your body important amounts of Vitamin D which is difficult to get through a normal diet. As in most things in life, moderation is the key; only you know your own body, how it tans and how it reacts to the sun.
